Description

'Secrets don't stay secret for long in publishing'

Six authors.

One private island.

Seventy-two hours to write the ending that will change their lives.

This is a house of novelists, not murderers. You dream up crimes. You dont commit them.

But a writer has. And so, who better than a writer to catch them

World famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending wont write itself.

Fletchs publisher, Merriweather Press, has invited six authors to Fletchs private island in Scotland. Authors whose books have never had the big marketing budgets or publicity opportunities. In other words, midlist. And theyre about to be presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.

Whoever writes a worthy ending will receive one million dollars, and a further one million dollars for a new three-book contract.

They have just seventy-two hours, with no access to the outside world, just a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write

Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder.

Smart, original and completely addictiveThe Ending Writes Itself is both a great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry. An absolute must-read Karin Slaughter

Reviews

I was absolutely hooked from the beginning and then practically inhaled the rest of the novel. It's funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable! I laughed and I winced. I hated and adored seeing my friends in publishing portrayed so cleverly/accurately/sardonically. The twists and turns are gorgeously unexpected and the characters brilliantly drawn. I just know readers will LOVE it as much as I did. Sarah Crossan
